Thank you Forces News. Hannah King for these 3 historical video's of British Gibraltar. Thank you as well to former Gunner, Peter Jackson , the guide , and mentioning of volunteers that restored the Gun , and former 73 year old Alfie from the then Gibraltar Regiment , today the " Royal Gibraltar Regiment " who was the last man to fire the Gun in 1972 .
The sad thing is, walking around here everyday you can see countless caverns/doorways/paths/tunnels which are either locked shut or decaying. Instead maintaining them for tourism or heritage they just remain inaccessible background scenery, It's been bothering me ever since moving here and it's pretty sad
Get the REME, Gunners work party from UK. And refurbish the guns. Im sure there would be plenty of volunteers to spend a couple of weeks doing such a worth while task.
@@GlasgowGallus yeah me too, my first overseas posting. Lost my dogtags in the sea on Catalan beach and a toe at Europa point when my Gimpi strap broke and the gun came down on my foot pistol grip first. One cost me a weeks wages and the other gave me light duties for 7 days, I preferred the latter.
My Dad was in the Royal Engineers and was one of the soldiers that tunneled through the rock post WW2. We went to Gibraltar years back and went on a tour through the tunnels. Very interesting place.
I was a 16 inch gunnersmate ( GMG2 ) on the battleship Missouri back in the 1980's. After the Mo was decommissioned I attended a ships reunion in Pearl Harbor and it was interesting. I met a GMG who was on the Missouri when she was first commissioned and served on her through the war. Then we found out somethings: 1.) We both had the same rank. 2.) We both were in center gun of turret 3. 3.) We both found the same hidden sleeping spot in the turret. 4.) We both were LPO's of the powder flats and magazines. My time and his time on the battleship Missouri were exactly the same, only separated by 40 years.
My father was a miner and called up during the war as a sapper/miner . He helped blow out the tunnels in the rock and help expand the runway with the rock debris . One day a dodgy fuse went off too early and he was caught in the explosion ... he survived .
I hope they find the money to preserve everything. Once completed tourist's would be more than happy to pay for a tour and recoup the money. Ex military love going to Gibraltar on holiday 😉
My Dad was a gunner stationed at Gibraltar in 1939 to 1941, every morning first light, he had to check if the Germans had moved there Artillery overnight to a new position, they of course should not have been in Spain, but Franco owed Hitler, he also witnessed the sinking of the Ark Royal, torpedoed by a U Boat, a few miles off the Rock, and most days there was an air-raid, the bombs burst on the Rock throwing splinters everywhere, not the best place to be!
Franco may have owed Hitler, but he was crafty; Spain was poor, especially after the civil war, so he didn't want to take the risk of war with undefeated British empire, but nor did he trust Hitler enough to allow his forces to enter Spain. If Hitler had entered, nevertheless, and captured Gibraltar, how would the war have then gone? However, he had by then turned his attention to Russia.
@@waliza001 thanks for the reply, yes that's what I said, my Dad was stationed on the Rock, and could clearly see Ark Royal, listing, and the Gloster Gladiators and Swordfish sliding off the deck. 13th November 1941.
@@waliza001 for you information pal, during this period, there were actually things called binoculars etc. But my Dad did not need those anyway, have you ever been up on a rock that you can see for over 40 odd miles? No? Well I have, and from the top of Gibraltar, you can see Africa very easily without using any optical instruments. And just why are you constantly questioning my original comments? Are you some sort of nut case, that gets kicks out of trying to debunk everything?
I visited a bunker complex on Gibraltar with a guided tour when I was 7-9 years old (2009-2011 or so), and the first thing I see, when entering is that massive Howitzer parked in front of a trailer with safety helmets, that where given out to us tourists. I am pleased to find this video. I think this bunker together with the fictional SGC Complex under from Stargate under Chayenne Mountain (NORAD Bunker) started my interest for underground facillities.
Can confirm Gib well worth a visit. We stayed at The Elliot in the middle of town. Took cable car up top and walked along to the gun at the southern end of the nature park. Spectacular views from there across the med to North Africa. If you are fit you can walk to the northern end for views into Spain from the old tunnels, but its better to allocate at least a day to each end. The museum in town is also worth a visit. Plenty of good places to eat and shop can be found using that well know website. Only had a week and now want to go back for things we missed. The map of the footpaths they give you is tricky to follow in parts especially when some paths are closed. Phone and Google maps helped out.
I have seen a gun set-up like this on rothsnest Island in Perth Western Australia, its been restored and is a great tourist attraction. It Is a massive underground bunker complex.
Pete should reach out to English Heritage, as it feels like the sort of approach taken at Dover Castle would line up pretty nicely with all that history.
In the 70's, the M O D gave escorted viewings of the interior of the Rock. I remember seeing the many beds in the hospital section, and the underground reservoir that had the biggest water rats I have ever seen. Also there was a room where Eisenhower had a control room, and there was still a white board up with the enemies record of shipping on it. A really interesting place to visit, and was apparently impregnable because of the solidity of the rock.
I have some pics of Canadair Argus patrol craft sitting on the tarmac at Gibraltar which they show in the beginning of the clip. I suppose they refueled a few times to make it over and back. I love this story of the old soldiers taking care of the old batteries. 😊
Gib may once again become a very important military asset. for a Britain determined to expand our global reach. Being able to monitor and if necessary close access to the Mediterranean is still of great strategic importance. Protecting the past could also be protecting the future.
Would be awesome to see these visited the rock a couple of times sadly the tours they sell you at the border don’t include any of the WW2 tunnels so hard to see them on a day trip.
@@nowtelsematters vs an air field? Look at the damage that the Japanese emplacements did in the Pacific? The Americans pounded the hell out of them to little effect. They fired, then withdrew into the mountain. Reloaded, then popped back out.
One of Gibraltars guns is at IWM Duxford it's in a terrible state. I worked on the project in the early 80s and since then only seen it possible three times since. The lack of care, maintenance and preservation is really evident now. It's getting worse !!!
When I was a kid you used to be able to walk around it but now it's off limits , I don't understand whey they don't do something to at least stop the decay.
Crazy how fast times and weapons change. Hope the US can build more of the Ground based midcourse defense for todays threats. Its one of only two midcourse phase ICBM interceptors(the Sm3 is the other) and is the fastest hypersonic missile in the world capable of mach 33.
I was on Gibraltar in 1975 I saw some of the guns when I was on the USS Nimitz. I actually had my picture taken alongside a 5in gun or something of that sort, but the picture is lost to an old girlfriend. she stole it
Wow brits the best nation in the world they did so much for the humanity 👏 really and even today UK its the most democratic country in the world also so....
Last time I saw these guns they looked in a right state that was 15years ago they looked not capable of use and a real mess they need up date or repair,in today's world you never can tell.
Two best hotels are The Elliot and The Rock. We've only stayed at the Elliot which is bit closer to the shops and restaurants but The Rock isnt that far away either. There are cheaper places especially nearer the airport. Don't pay for airport transfers, cheaper just to get a taxi or even a bus from right outside airport. If you want a beach hotel I think you have to look at the east side of the island. There are cheap busses that circle the island so you can easily visit the main town from that side. Many hotels have pools. The language is English but obviously a lot speak Spanish as well. On arrival have camera ready for the road across the runway in your taxi. Don't worry there are traffic lights so you can't cross when plane landing. See my other post in main thread for more.
Good work. At least they still have the 9.2” guns there. Not like Wellington, New Zealand, where the two installed guns were cut up for scrap and thieving Post Office technicians looted the copper wire.
Maybe the MOD should spend less money on all of these new "Woke" recruitment ads and spend it on preserving our military heritage...it disgusts me that sights like this have been left to rot...
Had two happy years there, 1970 -1972, been all over the rock. Only the gates into Spain were locked, and we had to do border patrols in our little ferret. Best thing was we had live ammo and weapons.

@@ColinWatters Well, 79.1% of Spaniards are fully vaccinated and 80.6% with a single dose. In other words, the percentage is lower than that of Gibraltarians (100%) but higher than that of the UK population (69% fully vaccinated, 76% one dose). So it is difficult to know if the new infections among Gibraltarians come from Spaniards who work in Gibraltar, from British tourists or other nationalities who visit the rock or from the same Gibraltarians who move freely through other countries. Don't forget that many Gibraltarians actually live in Spain and Gibraltar is just the place where they run their lucrative, low-tax business.

Not forgotten by me as I went up the rock and saw one along with the tunnels, well worth a visit.
Very good, thanks for posting.

Fantastic. Without people like these this historic place will rust away

Those guns have such a storied history I find it difficult to believe they could be forgotten. Neglected yes forgotten no.

Ironic that those cruisers were yesterday's technology in the first war, and yet the guns at least would still be a very creditable deterrent in WW2.
With all of the shipping going on there a piece of that action would easily pay for restoration to static display and one gun firing salutes etc.
